General Contractor / Construction Manager Representation

General contractors and construction managers occupy intermediate positions in the chain of contracts on any construction project. We are familiar with the challenges this presents for our clients because they are often placed in positions of negotiating, defending and enforcing contractual rights upstream against project owners and downstream against subcontractors and suppliers. Our lawyers are also familiar with performance security issues – bonds, subcontractor default insurance and letters of credit – that face our general contractor and construction manager clients.

Client Focused Approach – Manage Risks and Avoid Disputes

We place special emphasis on helping our general contractor and construction manager clients manage and minimize risks and, thereby, avoid disputes. We have extensive experienced in assisting in managing the unique risks our clients face as occupants of intermediate positions in the chain of contracts.

Our lawyers have extensive experience assisting clients with structuring, negotiating and concluding complex construction transactions, including drafting and negotiating owner/contractor agreements and subcontracts from the perspective of general contractors and construction managers. Our lawyers work closely with our clients to identify risks unique to our clients’ work on projects and work relentlessly to minimize those risks through well-drafted contract agreements and effective negotiations. Our attorneys have drafted and negotiated these agreements on office building projects, schools, water treatment facilities, municipal buildings, factories, coliseums, sports and entertainment venues, hotels, condominiums, hydro-electric dams, cement plants and gas-powered power plants, among others.
